Can a single if-else statement choose one of three options?

A good answer might be:

No---an if-else statement makes a binary decision, a choice between two options.

To make a three-way choice, a nested  if  is used. This is where an if-else statement is part of a the true-branch (or false-branch) of another if-else statement. So the nested if will execute only when the outer if has already made a choice between two branches. Here is a program fragment that does that to make a choice of one of the three Strings.

String suffix; . . . . . // count is the number of integers added so far. . . . . . // count+1 will be the next integer to read if ( count+1 ______________ ) suffix = "nd"; else if ( count+1 ______________ ) // false-branch of first if suffix = "rd"; // false-branch of first if else // false-branch of first if suffix = "th"; // false-branch of first if System.out.println( "Enter the " + (count+1) + suffix + " integer (enter 0 to quit):" );

Complete the if statements so that:

• when (count+1) is 2 the suffix "nd" is chosen;
• when (count+1) is 3 the suffix "rd" is chosen;
• and when (count+1) is 4 or higher the suffix "th" is chosen.
